| 4A light shines in the darkness for the upright, for the one who is gracious, compassionate, and just. | 4Light dawns in the darkness for the upright; he is gracious, merciful, and righteous. |
| 5It is good for the person who lends generously, conducting his affairs with fairness. | 5It is well with the man who deals generously and lends; who conducts his affairs with justice. |
| 6He will never be shaken; the one who is just will always be remembered. | 6For the righteous will never be moved; he will be remembered forever. |
| 7He need not fear a bad report, for his heart is unshaken, since he trusts in the LORD. | 7He is not afraid of bad news; his heart is firm, trusting in the LORD. |
| 8His heart is steadfast, he will not fear. In the end he will look in triumph over his enemy. | 8His heart is steady; he will not be afraid, until he looks in triumph on his adversaries. |
| 9He gives generously to the poor; his righteousness endures forever; his horn is exalted in honor. | 9He has distributed freely; he has given to the poor; his righteousness endures forever; his horn is exalted in honor. |
| 10The wicked person sees this and flies into a rage; his teeth gnash and wear away. The desire of the wicked will amount to nothing. | 10The wicked man sees it and is angry; he gnashes his teeth and melts away; the desire of the wicked will perish! |
